Just because you can ??

Here
is a simple scenario. You have guests in the house. You are chit chatting,
enjoying snacks, and having a good family time. The very next moment you 5 year
old son goes to the corner of the living room pull his pants down n starts
peeing on the wall. What would you do? You would run and stop him from doing
that? Scold him and tell him this isn’t an appropriate. Tell him that you have
to use washroom, and its bad manners to pull your pants down in-front of
people. If you are strict parent then the kid will get smacked (i would do that
J). You would be highly embarrassed in front of
your guests. You would laugh it out and try to change the topic, right??

So
if I have understood it correct all our parents and their parents and their
great grand parents have told us all one thing when we were growing. One has to
use washroom to go pee and potty. As kids we followed it as well. Even when the
desperate times during classes, we asked for teacher’s permission and went to
washroom. Did it ever come to your head that u can just walk out the class and
pee in the corridor itself?? Yukkkk.. That is so disgusting. Right?

Then
why have we forgotten the basics while growing up. Every day while travelling,
i see so many men facing the walls. On the main roads, at traffic signals, near
the trees standing and peeing. Without any shame. Without worrying if there are
people and females nearby. It just does not matter. Recently I encountered an
incident, where this guy with his wife and kid stopped his two wheeler went
near the wall and started to pee. While his family looked away pretending to
not know him.

As a
woman i would really like to say one thing. It is disgusting to see you men being
so shameless. To see that you do not respect any female apart from your family.
(Because u don’t do it anywhere in your house). Just because you have your back
to the road does not mean people can’t see you. Just because you have a smaller
bladder than women does not mean whole city is an urinal for you. There is a
saying u must have heard few people use, “when a man has to go, man has to
go?” i am sure this does not mean “when a man has go, he can go
anywhere.” And trust me there is no woman who would say they are ok with seeing
a man urinating in public. (I cannot talk in mens behalf).

So a
very sincere appeal to all the men, next time when you think of urinating in
public, imagine 10 people standing and watching u. Would you still go for it??
Would you really want to be the one adding that stink to the roads, you cannot
bare passing by?? Stop it for the respect of your own privacy, for your
own self respect.
